Hawaii Kitchen
The Hawaii kitchen, is a place where food is prepared in a Hawaii house. The kitchen originally was from the land when the original Polynesian Voyagers with no actual house to be in, then people had limited kitchens on the plantations and spoke Hawaii Pidgin English that had many terms that would show that a kitchen and the food coming from it was a symbol of the ohana (family). The term can be used as "gathering" or "hawaii themed" and many cultures, many family members and friends, and sometimes even neighbors would share the space to make delicious food for those who were held close to their hearts. Hawaii Food as Seen on Media Advertising and shows will highlight many dishes that are from high class hotels or from the "Hawaii Regional Cuisine Movement" and only recently have they started to cover the food the kamaaina residents eat. The curious traveler may enjoy shows like: "No Reservations: w/Anthony Bourdain" and "Diners Drive In and Dives: w/Guy Fieri". A few questions are pretty interesting and may seem simple, such as "How do you eat like a Kama'aina on the daily?" or "What do you need to cook Hawaii Food in your home?". The Hawaii Kamaaina can't afford to only eat plate lunch, poke, and lau lau all the time (so fattening!), so they have a much larger menu they eat that is not always shown on media broadcasts. Hawaii Cuisine is based on a balance of starches and protein that hides in more nutritious foods in their dishes. The foundation idea of a Hawaii meal is unhealthy as it is called "Kanaks" or the Hawaiian cure of eating until your tired, but if you eat until you feel like passing out its called a "Kanak Attack". Traditional Hawaiians had a much healthier and nutritious diet from the bounties of sustainable fish-pond foods of seaweed and seafood. Hawaiian Meals called Pa'ina Pa'ina is the Hawaiian word for a meal, the back bone was taro or "the boneless fish" of the land which was accompanied with many vegetables and fruits and minimal meats. Many common foods would be: Sweet Potato varieties, Limu Seaweed varieties, Bread Fruit, Kalo Taro, and culivated Pond Fish species. Back then, men did all the cooking in special cooking houses or out in the open if the weather was good which had a the: kindling process, fanned flames, heated pit stones, and covered leaves. There was a "mens imu" and a separate earthen oven for the "womens imu". When the food was cooked the men would eat separately from the women and each would have different rules of what they could or could not eat according to Kapu-Law. They would remove the rocks and eat with their hands and a bowl of cold water would be used for their hands. Nowadays people eat with either hands, fork and knife, or chop sticks.
